Syntheses of Lipophilic Polyelectrolytes and their Applications for Functional Materials

In this research, we demonstrated that the Lipophilic polyelectrolytes with bulky and large ion pairs surrounded by lipophilic groups expand their polymer chains largely in non-polar organic solvents due to electrostatic repulsion among them. This result enabled us to develop super-absorbent polymers for various organic solvents and provided rational molecular design of thermally-sensitive polymer materials. Moreover, we successfully prepared super-absorbent polymers active at low temperature and constructed Layer-by-Layer multilayer thin films in the non-polar organic solvents other than water.
